I do not know whether you have addressed the application to CPIO or not.

AO is not proper, as CPIO is under obligation to send the application himself under intimation to applicant.  Now the time is not to enter arguments with officials, and please send same application to CPIO by Regd post with a fresh IPO and provide your email address.  You can first send RTI Application by e mail and then send hard copy by Regd post.  Invariably write on fresh RTI that one applciation was filed before CPIO dt.....and as per directions of AO dt....fresh application is filed.  (Remember, that when RTI Application is filed with any other dept., of same public authority or some other PA , it is their obligation to send the application to concerned CPIO, within 5 days from receipt of such application as per Sec.6 (3).  AO is not authorised to involve in RTI matters as it is the duty of designated APIO or CPIO) alone.

In addition to RTI, also post the same query in their grievance portal also.

Hello Prasad,

Sorry I confused little bit. Enclosed the CPIO details kindly verify.
